The Story of Arthur Truluv by Elizabeth BergMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 out of 5 stars - If you ask me, I'll tell you to read it
This story was, in the end, about how family isn't based on genetics but choice. You can make your own family based on those who love you and you love in return. It doesn't have anything to do with your birth.
Arthur still loves his wife, his "Nola Corrine, Beauty Queen", and visits her daily to have lunch together. While there, he meets Maddie, a high school student who feels like an outcast in her life. Arthur's neighbor, Lillian, has her own traumas happening in her life and becomes part of this unconventional family.
I loved seeing how the three of them interacted and how the family came together. I also loved how Arthur visited graves of those around his wife, in order to learn more about her new neighbors.
One thing I will say though was that I wasn't fully impressed with the author as narrator in the audiobook. She wasn't bad, just not one of the best I've heard.
